This study tested whether a traditional mushroom supplement called Cordyceps sinensis could protect kidney function in dogs undergoing heart imaging tests that use contrast dye. Researchers found that dogs receiving Cordyceps sinensis combined with lower doses of contrast dye maintained good image quality while showing better kidney function afterward compared to controls receiving conventional contrast doses without the supplement. Advanced imaging techniques confirmed that Cordyceps sinensis helped protect kidney tissue from damage caused by the contrast material.

The Molecular Mechanism of Polysaccharides from Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua in Improving Hyperuricemia by Regulating Key Targets of Uric Acid Metabolism in Mice

This research demonstrates that a traditional Chinese medicinal plant called Polygonatum cyrtonema contains beneficial polysaccharides that can help lower high uric acid levels in the blood, which is a major cause of gout and kidney disease. The study found that these polysaccharides work by reducing the enzyme that produces uric acid and helping the kidneys excrete more of it, while also reducing inflammation. Importantly, this natural treatment protected kidney tissue better than the standard pharmaceutical drug allopurinol, suggesting it could be a safer long-term option for managing high uric acid levels.
